Catrin, Rachel and Callum have secrets, but on this small island, how long before those sevrets are revealed? A child goes missing and then another, how can this be possible in this close community.
I did enjoy this book and it did keep me guessing.

(I received a free copy of this book from Net Galley in exchange for an honest review.)

What's the worst thing your best friend could do to you?
Admittedly, it wasn't murder. A moment's carelessness, a tragic accident - and two children are dead. Yours.
Living in a small island community, you can't escape the woman who destroyed your life. Each chance encounter is an agonizing reminder of what you've lost - your family, your future, your sanity.
How long before revenge becomes irresistible?
With no reason to go on living, why shouldn't you turn your darkest thoughts into deeds?
So now, what's the worst thing you can do to your best friend?

Small town secrets, betrayals and a place where every character seems to have something to hide...sounds like the perfect ingredients for a brilliant thriller. And they are...

Narrated by three characters (which I don't usually like), the story unfolds layer by layer, keeping the reader glued to the page, waiting for the next revelation!

The setting - the Falkland Islands - was an unusual choice but one that worked perfectly as well. With an eye for description, the flora, fauna and other native inhabitants of the islands gave me the feeling of a place that deserved more investigation.

Bringing the whole story together was never going to be easy, considering the three narrators, and it didn't quite hit the mark for me. It felt a little "let's just get this tied up shall we?" without giving any real thought to the complexities that had been created in the first 350 pages.

All in all, however, a fine small-town thriller and one that I would recommend happily!

Very, very slow moving like trudging through mud, didn't even bother to go to the end to see what happened - wasn't worth my time.

Very slow moving book, sometimes so complicated to follow the storyline. Other times trying to figure out the storyline. The last few chapters were the most exciting, but trying to get there was very hard to reach.

I received a free copy from NetGalley. I'm trying to catch up on some older titles. Wish I had read this one sooner. Really enjoyed the different setting and liked the way it was told from different perspectives without too much repeating. Stayed up way too late trying to finish this one all at once, so don't start it if you don't have time to read, because you won't want to put it down.
